Description
This page from Annihilation: Conquest issue #2, released December 5, 2007, marks the first time Groot shifts from fluent speech to his now-iconic phrase, “I am Groot.” Coined by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, the phrase would become synonymous with the character and a pop culture staple for years to come.

The team is deep in combat on Hala, working to destroy the Phalanx-controlled Babel Spire. Blastaar, infected with Groot’s pollen spores, released them upon simulated death, allowing Mantis to mentally map the spire’s layout. In this moment, Star-Lord embraces his leadership role, delivering a rallying call to the team as they prepare to assault the Babel Spire.

The final panel transitions the narrative toward Adam Warlock, the High Evolutionary, Moondragon, and Quasar, expanding the scope of the cosmic conflict.

Man, there's some great detail top-to-bottom here, with some hefty conributions by both Raney and Hanna.  That first panel is money!  Congrats, Ian!

Sweet page with some beautiful work by Raney.  That first panel with Rocket and Groot is fantastic!  But really, you could say that about every panel on this page.  I've been wanting a nice Raney example for years.  And this fabulous page just drives that point home.

Here comes Tom Raney page feeling again
And soon spire here they will be falling like rain
It always seems to be an art day
Scott Hanna Galaxies of Sunday Easter spent with Groot
Before the Guards appeared Raccoon away my sunshine

Here comes that Raney page feeling again
And I'll be dreaming of your Babel campaign 
Your page is always on my spire world
I hoping soon you'll Hala find
Your great Drax to me
Cause if you say Quill stay
The Raney page will go astray
